Dope story!

22:04 glad to hear Dante is recovering and sobering

3:13 Howard Hewitt caught a stray 😂

One of my all time favorite albums along with you, and Ferreira. So insane to see coverage on my favorite Rappers by my favorite Rappers--so grateful for that. Just throwing it out into the aether, but no one ever talks about Psyche O and how The Standard probably defined the vibes of many folks raised in the mid 00s adult swim curation of aesthetics. Always thought those guys were so creative and underrated, which was confusing to me. But thanks so much for this; I love learning abt this record; so much meaning in there. ~ Peace and be well Artisan ~

15:10 Puber Wrote the Creator for Pete Rock

'ELP

It was payday at Ukrainian hall which is in east village

Dang I’m watching this and the discussion on Puba and so far in full agreement. It’s funny to hear he was allergic to hooks and the second brand nu album (without puba) to me is horrible and opens with hooks… I’m wondering if you’re going to discuss the making of one for all. Edit - exactly the sense of MELODY WAS MISSING …which for me and other cats in the hood uptown was big.

Peace peace, so yesterday I decided to listen to brand Nubians and found myself pondering who was the best mc question I saw a week prior of Brand Nu. 51 turning 52 this year and I worked at east west for a brief period and then walked away from the music industry in the early 90’s. Dante, sd50’s and were pretty much my staple motivation. Anyway I said I gotta find out why brand Nu broke up I know it was issues between lord and Sadat and Pu but was never clear. And looked it up and found this podcast and saw wow a whole series for Dante interviews fucking amazing and started listening. It’s refreshing to hear the life I lived from the voice and mind of one of the cats I studied from afar. Thank you for this podcast. Now it seems I don’t have to do what is being done…blessings to you king

Killer Mike gets more than his fair share of the glory, but El-P is a damn magician!

Elucid is garbage

Puba wrote The creator you can tell,cause only Puba says $h°t like dip dive dip! He said it in Wake up! Dip Dip Diva civilize an 85er!.

Dope AF

that pic is vast aire behind juss vast told me himself

Pete rock remix of Shut em down is still amazing ❤🎉

I wish C. Brown did a solo album

So awesome hahah, never even heard the mic punch Lol

Or better word I'll be can't recreate The scene

That subroc 12” on fondle em . It sounded like a roc & stop smoking that s#!t ! Is an absolute gem and those doom 12” pre operation dooms day with the little changes in the mix & beats ! Definitely hunt them if like me your a completist

2 records that dominated 1997 for me was company flows fun crusher plus & mood . Doom !!! And impo neither of those albums sound dated today !!!

All these pods are nothing but straight fire through and through, and produced extremely well

Got this the week it was released & at first listen I was surprised it was instrumental! But It quickly grew on me !!!

I bought this album & a single sided 10 “ vinyl ! At the time of release I was listening to hip hop along side lots of jazz & 60s & 70s soundtracks so this album was heaven for me!!!

enjoyed following through this season, getting insights into aspects of music i'm not familiar with and hearing stories of different artists i know and some i don't. thanks to you both for this and everyone else who made it possible. documenting hip-hop history is a great contribution and this is done very well. much love!

LONS were hugely popular in my hometown, Toronto. Check out the KZbin clip of them longside Fu Shnickens on Much Music. Busta and Milo's Jamaican/West Indian influence put our audience into a frienzie, because most of the blacks in Toronto were Caribbean. I heard about LONS backstage skirmishes in their visits to Toronto, but you'd never know, because they put on such an amazing live show. Big respect!🇨🇦

noice

I'm bout to go back..CLASSIC

The small mindedness of automatically dividing the wu artists and trying to single out favourites and signing to different labels is interesting and sad and short sighted. Wu tang could of been as big as Disney.

It's very lonely making beats
